What is with most guys looking like shit on dating profiles?

I have been on too many dating sites in the past few years and i am noticing a trend. First of all they nearly all have massive facial hair. Not a small mustache or a goatee but a full beard that covers most of their face. And they also dont smile. Lastly they dress like they just got off a days work of lumberjacking. While all women are decked out. Can anyone explain this?

When they show what they really look like, women criticize them for not looking good (as if dating sites would be filled with really good looking guys).....yet they don’t want men who dress too fancy, as it seems to be a facade (which, in many cases, it is).
They don’t want a critique, they want someone who’ll accept them for who they are.
If that’s not you, maybe dating sites aren’t for you either.
It’s rare to find incredibly good looking people on dating sites because there are usually people with enough confidence to ask them out in person.
Dating sites are full of those who are average looking at best, but feel that they still have something to offer.
I had/have massive facial hair, worked for over 30 years as an attorney and a number of people like me.

@DragonFruit i am not saying im looking for a hot man. An average joe would be fine. And i do not critique them. You cant tell me youd be ok hanging with friends with a girl that looks like she is homeless. With no make up and ripped clothing and her hair hasnt been combed in a week.
